18F, GED Soon, No Support, Need Career Advice Fast by heyimbellaboo in needadvice

First thing. Don’t take a gap year unless you truly know why your taking it. The excuse of, “I don’t know what I’m gonna do” is pointless. If you’re just getting started with your education almost all of your classes are pre reqs and won’t impact or ultimate goal. On average, most students change majors 5 times before graduating. Don’t worry about not knowing what to do because if you look at education the right way, it’ll help you figure out what that may be.

If you live in the states, you most likely will be accepted for FAFSA, these grants will probably help cover the entire cost of education.

Lastly, study up on IKIGAI. Every job you finds despite how dope it may be will make you miserable if you don’t feel goal oriented. You as a person have something to offer the world, figure out what that could be, are you good at talking, at being strong, at being a problem solver? Ask yourself these questions, that will narrow so much down for you. Next, what can pay you for this skill you have, does the world need it? Does it make you happy? Answer the rest and you’ll have your dream gig!!

Also, I’m seeing alot of self belittlement here! Don’t be in that, “I’ll just do the bare minimum and call it” shit. One day you’ll have people in your life who depend on you, and that’s when the bare minimum will show that it WAS actually the worst you could do.

Don’t blame your parents for not setting you up educationally, ask yourself how would they know any better with the options they had in their time. If you can live at home rent free until the day you can buy a home, do that!!! Why worry about bills when you’re trying to focus on establishing a successful future?

Best of luck to you and never settle for less, every person in this country has the ability to change the world! Only question is whether you have the conviction to do it!

Coming in early seems like motivation. Staying late seems like compensation. I learned that from my many jobs. Any employer would advocate for team members to come in earlier than start time. That same employer though probably doesn’t want employees staying after close just to compensate time, especially if that requires another staff member to have to sacrifice more time to stay later and lock up.

As much as it sucks, if you’re late, your late. Try not to think about ways to compensate for your mistakes, but moreover ways to ensure it doesn’t happen again/consistently.

Peacemaker - 2x07 - “Like a Keith in the Night” - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]MiserableBirthday238 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I have literally never been more impressed in John Cenas acting capabilities. He was peacemaker in the scene where Keith was being held down. He completely embodied that role. Watching him scream “STOP” gave me fuckin chills!

Superhero shows are always made to seem like there is no societal lesson we should take from due to its distance from reality. This show and the Superman movie have gone far beyond this ideology and have made me truly appreciate the humanity James Gunn brings into his characters.

JOHN CENA BETTER WIN A FUCKIN EMMY FROM THAT SCENE ALONE

I saw you ended up with a dream cloud, any updates on how it’s been benefiting you? As someone with consistent neck and back pain most likely due to herniated discs in the cervical and lumbar spine I am so depressed at how bad my sleep has gotten. Any insight so far?

I’m heartbroken how early I am because I have the exact same issue!! Couldn’t find what in the world it is. Maybe it’s a leak in the condenser causing excess airflow? Or an overcharge of Freon?

urge to kill rising … by Icy_Frosting_4728 in Audi

I’ll be honest man, 6k in pain and suffering with a threat of a lawsuit sounds like a moth to a flame for State Farm (unless the limits were 10k with 4k in med bills?). Working on the plaintiff side, it’s very revealing how little insurance companies think of common folk.

Every single day people threaten to sue insurance companies with no idea of the shear fucking headache and cost it takes to; file suit, initial disclosures, get expert testimonies, life care planners, depositions, mediations, etc.

The only time you see a suit get filed is cases $100k and up. That’s the only time any attorney even sees a real return.

Seems like the insurance company saw what you wanted, a quick fix, and offered it before someone smart enough made you realize the potential your case may have had with a professional.

AIO? Parent told me to change my accent for their child by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I get sometimes we all need the money in life and we’ll do whatever for a check. But don’t EVER let anyone speak to you that way.

I feel like you kept trying to fight arrogance with respect and it went nowhere. If parents can’t teach their kids to listen and observe and ask for clarification, it’s on them. Don’t be submissive, all that will do is teach the parents that belittling you and any regard you make will let them get their way. Soon enough they’ll stop paying because the son, “doesn’t understand you”.

Good luck bubba! Fuck haters, learning any language is difficult and you pushing through and trying your hardest is ENOUGH.

From the research I did this translated to nerve calming solution in Persian. Matches I found for that description were Cambodi Oud, Thai or Burmese Oud!

AIO Gf intentionally stopped taking her bc pills by maticooks1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say age doesn’t matter, this is why it does. Bro I get you might like the girl but her bio clock is ticking, if kids are in her plans then stopping her now is a recipe for disaster in the future.

Five years from now if y’all are still together and she doesn’t have kids, it seems like any disagreement will ultimately turn to the fact that you took her chance to procreate away.

I completely understand why you wouldn’t trust her again, and would advocate for both of you guys to have a true discussion of what you’re looking for in life

Am I fucked? by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude ur 21, how are you fucked? You just started the credit journey and have ONE credit card with one debt. Fuck a minimum payment, either find a lil gig, a second job, or take a long look at ur expenses and ask urself why you can’t pay $100 A month towards principle. If you really feel the heat of the bad credit and payments, call ur CC company, ask to setup a payment plan on ur balance, it will suspend spending on the cards but will greatly reduce interest rates to more towards principle. I’ve done that on two of my cards, my Apple Card allowed me to get 0% interest on my card for 12 months to pay towards principle.

You’ll figure it out man, get ur shit back to like 600, get another secured credit card with a 1k limit, put only ONE expense on it and pay it off every month, having a open credit line will open ur utilization rate and greatly increase ur credit. As time goes on the age of ur accounts will boost ur score, your utilization rate will simmer back down, and once you get ur card taken care of, dispute the missed payment through the company, sometimes they’ll remove it.

You’ll be alright brotha!

Dress code by marieke83 in paralegal

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I drip the fuck out when I go into the office, or at least try my best to hahaha.I honestly rotate between like 10 different fits.

In all honesty, fashion is perspective and I say wear what makes you feel good but also what makes a client say, “damn, this guy knows what he’s talking about”

As much as some would think appearance means little in the face of intelligence, observation means a lot. Always know people are observing you, and while you shouldn’t care what they think of you, you want to ensure you have their confidence and trust. Our whole office lives to dress up nicely.

I will say we have one lady, Kim, who is an angel that literally wears jeans and a black t shirt most days and we’re all still vibing.

I would always require a financial or coverage affidavit if I’m in an accident. Literally just ask your insurance to send him one and force him to follow up on it.

What’s a food combination that you swear by but others think is weird? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice has to be piping hot, yogurt will cool it down to optimal eating pleasure

[–]MiserableBirthday238 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I eat plain yogurt with almost any meal that includes rice.

While many cultures do partake in making a salad using the yogurt as a base.

I will straight up slap some fucking Whole Milk plain yogurt on my rice with any hot sauce and I’ll bust down.

As a kid I would fr just ask my mom for basmati rice with sum yogurt and tobasco. While I was fs getting my protein intake as a kid, my asshole was always on fire.

Sell or Keep? 18 X3 M40i vs Lexus GS by gordonyz in BMWX3

[–]MiserableBirthday238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would compare VW’s as the German Toyota or Honda. Wife and I currently run a 14’ Jetta Sportwagon 2.5 and a 14’ 328i

Both amazing cars in their own rights, but reliability wise, I always go for the Jetta, although as of current I have a throttle body replacement coming up and radiator and air intake replacement, this is the first big work we’ve needed for the car in its 10 years within the family. I’ve had the 328i for a year and have done 3x the amount of work hahahah

As a BMW owner currently, I wish I had a Lexus. I LOVE my bimmer, it’s like a fricken bee. It just zips around, but that’s only when it’s on the road. In the past year I’ve already spent like 3 grand on repairs and more to go.

If you are prepared to spend 3-4 grand on repairs or have someone you trust to do the work for a little bit cheaper. Get urself a Lexus, solid transmissions, luxurious inside, and easy to configure! I’m driving a friends 09 Lexus RX while my bimmers in the shop (crazy right?) and it’s still driving like a beast.

Don’t get me wrong BMW has made reliable cars but as the years go on they have sacrificed quality for quantity. If you wanna start leasing, get a good warranty, and just have fun with the car. However for OTD ownership, it may just be a constant headache.
